Critics Consensus

Ethan Green makes for an annoying protagonist, the jokes aren't funny, and everyone is as flat as the paper the comic is printed on.

I was not expecting much from this movie but I really enjoyed watching it. It won't solve world peace but it is a nice movie about how to love and not run from happiness.

Washington Post

The Mostly Unfabulous Social Life of Ethan Green can't be accused of false advertising. This adaptation of the underground comic strip is mostly unfabulous.

There's just not enough real heart to go along with the cutesiness.

Moira MacDonald

Seattle Times

George Bamber's film is bouncy and agreeable but has a certain flatness to it; never making the case for its existence as a movie rather than a comic strip.

Rated: 2/4

Bay Area Reporter

Writer David Vernon and director George Bamber have adroitly mined the best gags and one-liners from the strip, surrounded Ethan with a Dawson's Creek-quality supporting ensemble...

Lead characters who are completely unlikable fly right in the face of what most filmmakers think the audience wants. But I'll take that any day over a blandly nice character.

Rated: B

Seattle Post-Intelligencer

The drawings of Eric Orner's comic strip on which the movie is based are more animated than the actors who fail to give any dimension to their characters.
